Koji: Who do you think will win Naruto?
Naruto: Dude, Tenten has this.
Koji: My bet is on Sano. He's stronger than he shows!
Naruto: Meh! Konoha women are the toughest women around. Sanosuke doesn't stand a chance.
Koji: But you forget, Sano is a Missing-Nin from Rock. He's got some balls to be able to do something like that.
Chapter 14: Brawls Begin! Sano vs. Tenten! A Battle of Speed!
Tenten and Sanosuke stood across from each other. While everything was going on, the sets filled with spectators, ambassadors from various villages, and the two Kages, Tsunade and Gaara, were sitting in two chairs, for the guests of honor in their respective kage robes.
"So, how do you see this fight going on?" Gaara asked. "That's obvious! Tenten will win! This rouge Shinobi doesn't stand a chance." Tsunade said. "I wouldn't be so sure of Tenten's victory." Gaara said. "Is that a bet?" Tsuade asked.
That was the moment that Tenten lost. EverythingTsunade bets on always loses. So let's see if Tenten can defy fate. Or if Tsunade's bad luck is stronger.
Tenten and Sanosuke stood across from each other. "Are you both ready?" Temari asked. Sanosuke nodded, while Tenten put her had into her pocket. "Begin!" Temari said, jumping away.
Tenten jumped the gun by tossing six kunai. Sanosuke slid out of the way, but wasn't ready for the seventh one, which he used a kunai to block. (He's pretty quick with his feet.) Tenten thought, pulling out 10 more kunai.
She tossed them, and Sanosuke dodged them, but one redirected itself, and clipped him in the shoulder. (The hell!?) Sanosuke thought to himself. He dodged the kunai, and caught sight of something gleaming in the sun. (Shit! Chakra Strings!) Sanosuke thought, pullig out a shuriken and tossing it at the wires. The deadly star hit the wires, but they didn't snap.
He realized these were strong wires, so he decided that it was time to step the game up a little. "Secret Art: Diamond Infusion Jutsu!" Sanosuke said, turning his normal shuriken into a light blue star of superior sharpness. He tossed it, and the star cut right through the wires. Tenten jumped away, and gave Sanosuke a critical look.
"What was that? Those wires were made from a material that couldn't be cut by throwing weapons." Tenten asked. "My special jutsu. Secret to only two people on this continent." Sanosuke said, as Tenten smirked. "Then it's time to step this up some." Tenten said, pullig out two scrolls. Sanosuke held a competivive smirk, and Tenten set her scrolls to the ground.
Sanosuke became wary as she bent down to her knees, and the smirk she gave him made him reach for his index card. "Twin Rising Dragons!" Tenten screamed, jumped into the air, as the scrolls shot up, spinning in a double helix. Once she reached the height of her jump, she began pressing kanji symbols, and grabbing weapons.
Sanosuke began running as weapons were dropping from the sky at an alarming rate. Deciding to get to the offensive, he pulled his card out, and summoned Rock Smash. "Diamond Blade!" Sanosuke said. He used the Diamond Infusion Jutsu to turn Rock Smash into Diamond Blade, and pulled it behind him.
"Diamond Style Kenjutsu: Diamond Storm!" Sanosuke said, swinging his blade. Little shards of diamonds shot out of his blade, hitting the falling weapons. Sanosuke didn't hit all of them, and sealed Rock Smash before he caught a kunai that would have hit him in the head.
"You resealed your weapon?" Tenten asked as she landed. "You, being a weapon master, would immediately pull out a weapon that would put me at a severe disadvantage." Sanosuke said, getting into a Taijutsu stance. "Smart boy." Tenten said, summoning a Bo Staff. She spun it overhead, and got into a battle stance.
(This is about to get interesting.) Sanosuke thought to himself, as Tenten charged. She swung, and Sanosuke ducked under it. She turned with the overswing, and brought her staff around again. This time, Sanosuke caught the weapon, and lifted it overhead, trying to slam Tenten into the ground.
Tenten landed, and jumped back into the air. She slid down the pole, and caught Sanosuke dead in the jaw. He slid along the ground and jumped to his feet to avoid the staff again. "Earth Style: Rock Fist Jutsu!" Sanosuke said, running and making handsigns.
When he reached the wall, he punched it hard. Out of the other end of the arena, a rock fist shot out, and nearly hit Tenten in the back of the head. She ducked at the last second, and that was what Sanosuke needed. "Earth Style: Rock Tomb Jutsu!" Sanosuke said, pressing his hands into the ground. Rocks shot out of the ground, and trapped Tenten.
"Got you!" Sanosuke said. He walked up to her, but a kunai grazed his shoulders. He looked confused, until he saw that Tenten was now a log. "Crap! Substitution Jutsu!" Sanosuke said.
Before he was pummeled by a rain of kunai, he created a Earth Dome to block the attack. For a few seconds, nothing happened, until 5 kunai, each with an Exploding Tag, hit the dome, and blew it to kingdom come. (Now I've got you.) Tenten thought to herself. When the dust cleared, everyone was stunned. He was gone.
"What!? How!?" Tenten asked quietly to herself. Then, all of a sudden, the tree across from her blew up into pieces. Her eyes widened. She never saw any attack being launched. Then, another tree was decimated. This was serious! How can he be attacking if he isn't even visible?
She looked for some sort of sign of where his attack was coming from, and she saw it. The earth was slightly unturned from where he was moving, and she pulled out a kunai. She tossed it, and the kunai hit the dirt where Sanosuke was supposed to be. She smirked when the dirt stopped, but that didn't last long as the tree she was in was decimated.
(What!? I didn't get him!?) Teten asked in her mind. She jumped off the tree debris, and tried for another tree. The moment she touched the ground, Sanosuke had her. "Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu!" Tenten's foot was caught, and all of a sudden, she was dragged into the ground until only her head was above ground.
"You never stood a chance the moment I went underground." Sanosuke said, walking up to her head. "What the hell was that?" Tenten asked. "That would be a special jutsu I learned. I lay underground, and when someone steps on the ground, it sends shockwaves that I can feel. I call it the Ground Radar Jutsu!" Sanosuke said, smirking.
"Then the trees…" Tenten started. "Were to get you to land on the ground. Earth Torpedo Jutsu combined with my Earth Radar Jutsu makes me a underground Battleship!" Sanosuke said. "So ref. Call it. She can't do anything else." Sanosuke said. "Well, he has a point Tenten." Temari said. "I know." Tenten said, sighing.
"Then Sanosuke Kazeyama moves to the next round!" Temari said, and Sanosuke raised the earth so that Tenten could pull herself out. He smirked at her, and she smiled back. They shook hands, and left for their separate areas.
The Generator began again, and this time, Rock Lee was chosen. He whoopped, and jumped to the ground. His opponent was named Mist, but he didn't know who it was. The nin was wearing all blue, and a mask. Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi thought the mask looked oddly familiar, but they didn't think much about it.
"Alright, ready?" Temari asked. Both nin nodded. "Begin!" Temari said, jumping away. Lee stood in his Iron Fist Taijutsu stance, as his opponent stood there, ready. Lee smirked, and charged. "Leaf Hurricane!" Lee said, jumping into the air and bringing his foot around for a devastating kick. Mist blocked the attack quite easily. "That's some strength." Lee said to himself, as he bounced away. Mist then charged him.
"Ha! You can't outrun me!" Lee said, charging as well. Next came a flurry of punches and kicks that were not seen by most normal eyes. Shinobi eyes caught little bits and pieces, but Sasuke and Kakashi saw all of it clearly with their Sharingans. "Those two are really fast." Koji said, not being able to catch all of the movements clearly.
After a few seconds of this fast paced movements, Lee managed to get a fist in, but Mist twisted in the air, and landed quite gracefully. Mist began making handsigns, as Lee charged. "Water Style: Water Missle Jutsu!" Mist said, shooting a water missile towards Lee, who easily dodged the attack.
"Leaf Hurricane!" Lee said, jumping and performing his deadly roundhouse. Mist ducked under it just in time, but Lee used that momentum. "Leaf Whirwind!" Lee said, spinning on his feet, and tripping Mist up. Mist managed to not hit the ground by flipping off his hand, and began making more handsigns.
"Water Clones Jutsu!" Mist said, creating 5 clones. The all pulled out senbon, and charged with the intent of slashing Lee up. Lee dodged all the attacks, and killed the clones, who created large puddles around the arena. "Now, we begin Round 2." Mist said. He then used his right hand to create single handed seals.
"Secret Art: 1000 Needles of Death!" Mist said, as the puddles turned into ice needles in mid-air, and then charged towards Lee. He moved out of the way, and brought his fist into Mist's face. The mask the mysterious (To the others who never met this nin and those reading who still don't know who this is) nin wore got cracked, and chipped off, revealing brown eyes and a feminate face. Naruto and Sasuke's eyes widened. "Haku!?" Naruto screamed.
On top of the arena, a nin, Mist Village Symbol worn sideways, cursed under his breath. "Damnit Haku." He muttered under his breath. "I guess you both didn't quite die." The nin turned around, and there stood Kakashi Hatake, the one who put Haku 6 feet under.
"Why are you here, Zabuza Momochi?" Kakashi asked, dead serious. "We were brought back to life to kill someone named Koji Hyosuke. That's all he told me." Zabuza replied. "You would tell me that!?" Kakashi asked, surprised he got a straight answer. "It has nothing to do with Konoha. I have no belief that you will interfere." Zabuza replied. Kakashi remained silent. (On one side, he has a point. This doesn't involve Konoha. But letting him kill someone without any knowledge doesn't sit well with me.) Kakashi thought to himself.
"Why does whoever revived you want Koji Hyosuke dead?" Kakashi asked. "Something about stopping their plans of taking over the continent." Zabuza said absentmidedly. Kakashi sweat dropped. "Was I supposed to know that?" Kakashi asked. "Hell should I care. These guys are stronger than I am. Well, their leader is." Zabuza grudgingly admitted.
"So you're looking out for yourself and Haku?" Kakashi asked. "Sure. Why not?" Zabuza replied. (His real answer is that he doesn't want to get his ass kicked.) Kakashi thought to himself amused. "I can't let that happen Zabuza. Koji is a friend of Konoha." Kakashi said.
"I see. That makes things a little tougher." Zabuza said, disappearing. (He didn't try to fight. No Guillotine Sword on him.) Kakashi analyzed.
Back at the fight, Haku was obviously taking a beating. Lee had upped his speed, and Haku decided that this was not the kind of fight he could win without stepping his game up to the next level.
He made the seal, and the air around them dropped to about –5 degrees Celcius. (About somewhere in between 15 and 20 degrees Farenheit, I think. My chemistry has never been good outside of crunching numbers, and I can't remember what the calculation from Farenheight to Celcius is) "Now, Secret Art: Demonic Ice Mirror!" Haku said, as Ice Mirrors surrounded all around Lee. Haku walked into one of them, and he appeared in all of them.
"Good luck hitting me." Haku said, as he began nicking Lee with senbon needles. Lee dodged them to the best of his abilities, but he was getting nicked and hit a lot. Lee would have considered just running out of the trap, but Haku was so fast, that if he tried, he took more hits than necessary. So Lee decided to take off the sissy gloves. He pulled his orange leg warmers off, (Sakura couldn't get him to get rid of those) and smirked. He tossed the weights to the sides, towards the mirrors.
"He dropped a few weights. What's the big deal?" Koji asked outloud. Sasuke shrugged, since he didn't see the fight between Lee and Gaara nearly three years ago. The moment the weights hit the mirrors, they shattered under the weight of the weights, and the force used to throw them.
Sasuke and Koji's eyes widened. "Those aren't normal weights!" Koji said to himself. "Those are each at least 1000 pounds." Sasuke said to himself. "How the hell do you know!?" Koji asked. "Sharingan." Sasuke said, his eyes turning black again.
Lee began darting around the cage of Ice Mirrors, and Haku remained in his Mirrors. (This isn't good. He's way to fast for me to track.) Haku thought to himself. He then decided to try and finish this quickly. He shot out of his mirror to another one for a better advantage. The moment he got out, he was grabbed by the ankle, and tossed. Instead of merely fazing through the mirror, the mirror turned to water as he flew through it.
Lee continued the attack, but Haku instantly froze the water, causing Lee to slip for one second. In that second, Haku shot back at him, making handsigns. "Water Style: Water Dome Jutsu!" Haku said, and he placed his hand on Lee's chest, and he was trapped in a dome filled with water.
"If you wish to maintain your life, I suggest you quit here and now." Haku said, as Lee was starting to have trouble holding his breath. He looked like he submitted, and raised his hand in defeat. Temari nodded, and Haku released the jutsu. "You're too fast. I had to outsmart you to win." Haku said, sighing. "No problem. Do what you have to do." Lee said.
"Then winner is Mist!" Temari said. Haku nodded, and went back to the other fighters. Lee was led over to his sensei, and sighed. "You did great Lee!" Gai said, patting Lee in the head. "Thank you, Gai-Sensei." Lee said, and they both gave smiles with the bright pinginess.
"Now, the next opponents will appear." Temari said, as the board lit up. When it stopped on both names, there was a competitive smirk. "ALRIGHT!!! My turn!" Koji screamed, jumping into the arena. He turned his headphones off, and put them away. His opponent? Hinata Hyuuga.
"Come on, little Firecracker! Show me what you got!" Koji said, leaning on the wall. Hinata slowly walked down, and they stood across from each other. (This will be one great fight.) All the Jounin thought to themselves.
ShadowRonin: That's right! Haku and Zabuza are alive, and kicking. Both are on a mission to kill Koji, but they aren't the only ones who want a crack at him. Hinata and Koji start things off, and we see how far they both have come. Keep in touch, and see what happens next!
